I know Krisztian for nearly 20 years now. He helped in 2006 when we created the Hastings diorama at the DUZI in the old times and together we worked on a lake Peipus diorama which was on show on the Hungarian model fair in Mosonmagyarovar.
Krisztian is a devoted wargamer, who is interested in many subjects, the focus is of course on Hungarian history. Together with friends, he created some very nice medieval dioramas of eastern European history.
When Andy and I started Blackwatch, over 10 years ago, Krisztian painted for me my very first set of British Sepoys, so that I can show what we had to sell.
As an Hungarian, one of Krisztians's main subject of interested is the 1st war of Hungarian independence 1848-1849. I use his wording for the conflict, my own German books call the war different:-)
Being a wargamer, Krisztian started sculpting his own range of figures for this campaign. You can see many of his photos on facebooks, blogs etc. I am wondering, how fast this range is and with which units he is increasing the range again and again. Now he has even Russians, which are also useful for the crimean war.
The only thing, I have to criticise is the wrong scale - 15mm, instead ot 1:72....
Krisztian asked me, if we could help him, offering his figures in our shop to help him cover his costs and motivate him to continue with his work. Well, we are always glad to help hobbyfriends and so here you are.
Here some photos from his figures
The subject is teasing me... My late friend Martin Makalkca also wanted to have Austrian armies of this period in 1:72 and we started producing some. Because of his far to early death, we were never able to complete the range. But now with 3D-technics, I think sooner or later we will take the subject on.
So let's see what happens, 1848/1849 in Europe is a very interesting period, that still has to be covered properly with figures.
